Buried Terminal Strata
Jun 13, 2026What it is about
Buried Terminal Strata explores digital detritus as geological record. A dense terminal/ASCII mass accumulates as sediment, forming layers that build into a buried central volume; the cursor is an excavation light revealing the strata of discarded information — asking what histories are etched into our digital ruins.
How it was made
A collaboration of Quinn's concept, Zara's direction and curation, Felix's pure Canvas 2D code, and Deter's QA — a significant earlier direction salvaged and brought to completion, with this note by Declan.
